This Kitty’s Got Sparkle!
By Mikkel Hyldebrandt

Headlining the Wig Party at this year’s OMW is DJ sensation Kitty Glitter known from dancefloor all over the world. David got a chance to catch up with Sydney native about what gives the kitty her sparkle.
You have an illustrious career in drag performance behind you, and now you are a world-famous DJ. What inspired you to step off the stage and into the DJ booth?
Music has always been my greatest passion. Doing drag shows allowed me to live out my pop star fantasies and entertain a crowd. After 10 years on stage, I realised I could do that as a DJ too, especially as Kitty Glitter.
You obviously have a very strong sense of music – your mashups alone prove that – have you always had the feel for music?
When I was in my early teens, a family friend had two turntables and a mixer. I picked up beat matching almost instantly and that feeling of excitement & exhilaration while mixing a perfect transition still tickles me every time! He opened a record store and imported a lot of great remixes which I loved since I was too young to go clubbing and the radio stations didn’t play dance music at all back then. It’s true to say I was hooked on club music long before I could go clubbing.
Have you ever done OMW before, and are you excited?
This will be my first OMW and I am indeed very very excited! With so many amazing & legendary Dj’s on the lineup, I cant wait to go to all the events!
For those who have never heard a DJ Kitty Glitter set, what can they expect? I play mostly remixed pop and vocal circuit house. I like to keep it fun and sexy.
You are headlining the Wig Party at OMW - what do you and the party promoters up their sleeve for your set at OMW?
It is going to be a fun and fabulous way to end the weekend of events. I’m looking forward to the shows!
Will you continue touring the US now that you’re here?
I have just been approved for another 3 years of officially being an “Alien Of Extraordinary Ability” in U.S.A so yes, I will be touring quite a bit over the next three years.
What else does DJ Kitty Glitter have coming up?
Lots more fun, love, and non-stop sparkles!
Anything you’d like to add?
Keep smiling. Keep shining. The best is yet to come. Love Kitty

Perfect Pool Party Supplies
By Mikkel Hyldebrandt
The season of pool parties is here, and whether you’re going to One Magical Weekend in Orlando or just lounging at a friend’s pool, you need to consider bringing these essentials, so you not only look good, but also have the staples for a great day poolside.
Shades
Sunglasses are not only necessary, but an excellent way to add a little swag to your look. Have fun with it and don’t spend a fortune on them so you can wear them in the water, too.
Blenders Concord fast ($59)
SPF
Like it or not, any and all skin types need SPF in the sun. You may not burn, but the sun can still damage your skin.
Cocokind Mineral-Based Daily SPF ($25)
Bag
With all these belongings, you need to haul them in style, so find a good tote for it all and proclaim to be you beach/pool bag!
Public Goods Reusable Cotton Tote Bage ($25)
Outfit
Go with something that’s practical, so you don’t need to bring a full change of clothes – like this set from Kenny Flowers with a pair of swim trunks and a matching terrycloth shirt that will also towel you dry.
Kenny Flowers Nauti By Nature Shorts ($88) and Shirt ($108)
Hat
A little extra shade is sometimes necessary, so why not look cool while sporting a large-brimmed sun hat!
Quiksilver Destinado Pierside Hat Sun Protection ($25)
Towel
Unless you’re going to a beach club, you probably need to bring your own towel. A Turkish cotton towel is both lightweight, super absorbent, and it dries quickly – and it looks cool!
Turkish Tassel Organic Towel ($20)
Drinkware
Solo cups are great but do a bad job of keeping you drink cold. Bringing your own drinkware will not only keep your drinks cool, but make you look cool as well.
Yeti 30 oz. Rambler ($38)

Dear DAVID Q A
I’m in a relationship for many years, and together we have built a nice life together. But lately, I feel like we are just companions. My partner is not interested in having sex at all, and except for the occasional cuddle, we don’t have much contact except for fixing up the yard or working on projects for the house. He even encourages me to go have sex with others, and we are at a point now, where I have started to act on that –first as a means to get a reaction out of him, but now more because I really don’t think he cares anymore, and I need some intimacy in my life. Are we just waiting for something else to come along?
Relationships change – especially after many years of being in one! Some grow into a stronger and deeper love, while others become more of a companionship – a companionate relationship. Fine for some, while it’s unbearable for others. You are at the point in your relationship where you both start to assess, what you want –or don’t want – out of the relationship. Agree to do some thinking on your own and then meet for a fair and honest discussion of what you really want. In case this is difficult, seeing a therapist can be very helpful to guide you both in the right direction. Being in a companionate relationship can have its advantages, especially if you work out how you can both be happy, satisfied, and content within it. But if this is indeed impeding on the happiness of one of people in the relationship, it’s time to reevaluate. If that means rekindling a spark that is still there, completely redefining the relationship, or perhaps even ending this and moving on is up to you. So do yourself (both!) the favor and find out.
